LIQUIDS & CREAMS

SETTING SPRAY
_________________________
To create a flawless, skin-like finish, I begin makeup application by applying liquid and cream products. This includes liquid foundation, cream bronzer, cream blush, liquid concealer, etc. These formulas help build layers that seamlessly blend into the skin, enhancing its natural texture while providing even coverage. This step ensures a smooth, radiant complexion that looks effortlessly flawless.
Once your foundation and creams are in place, I set your makeup with loose and pressed powder. This is a crucial step—without powder, your makeup won’t last 12+ hours as needed on a wedding day, especially through sweat, tears, weather, and other elements. Without it, your makeup may appear sweaty or shiny in pictures. This helps lock everything in, ensuring that your makeup stays intact throughout the entire day and night. The powder also provides a soft, airbrushed effect, offering a filter-like finish that smooths and refines the skin's appearance, keeping it fresh and matte for longer.

To finish, I apply setting spray to seal your makeup and keep it in place, no matter the weather, sweat, or tears. Beyond just locking everything in, the setting spray rehydrates your makeup, helping it to look more skin-like and natural. It also works to melt the powders and liquids together, creating a seamless, unified blend for a flawless, radiant finish. This final touch ensures your makeup stays fresh and intact, offering long-lasting, flawless coverage from morning to night.
Your wedding morning is more than getting ready... It is the beginning of one of the most meaningful days of your life. Your bridal beauty experience should feel just as intentional, elevated, and unforgettable.
Each Bridal Collection has been thoughtfully curated to create a seamless experience from your personalized bridal preview through the final touches on your wedding morning. Simply select the collection that best reflects the size of your wedding party and the experience you envision for your day.
When booking, select the Bridal Collection that accommodates the maximum number of makeup services you anticipate needing, including the bride. Your selected collection is final once booked and cannot be reduced or upgraded to a different collection.
Your service count may increase after booking as long as it remains within the capacity of your reserved collection. For example, if you reserve the Luxe Bridal Collection with 5 confirmed services, you may later increase your party to the collection maximum of 7 total services at no additional cost.
We understand that wedding parties can change, so individuals receiving services may also be substituted as needed. Because your collection reserves dedicated time, service capacity, and professional artist staffing for your wedding, your contracted investment remains the same regardless of how many services within your collection are ultimately used. To preserve the quality of our artistry and the relaxed, elevated experience we provide every wedding party, a maximum of 10 total makeup services may be reserved per wedding.
